I Should Have Known Better Lyrics
9 ContributorsI Should Have Known Better LyricsIn an act of contrition
I lay down by your side
It's not your place to comment
On my state of distress
For this is for real
I've tears in my eyes
Am I laughing or crying?
I suggest I'm not lying
I haven't found a measure yet to
Calibrate my displeasure yet so
To ignore my warning
Could be your folly
The judgement is harsh
I offer no plea
Valuing the vengeance which you treasure
I've redefined the meaning of vendetta
The procession's disordered
You protect your possessions
In light of your actions
I question your love
May I make an observation
Your bite is worse than my aggression
I should have known better
I should have known better
Than to become a target
Albeit a target which moves
No offer of terms or concessions
For statements or confessions
You don't feel warm, I pass close by
You shiver, I whisper
Excuse me, what's your problem?
Oh, I see
I should have known better
I should have known better
You should have known
I should have known better
I should have known better
I should have known better
I should have known
I should have known
I should have known better
I should have known
The 15th Lyrics
13 ContributorsThe 15th LyricsReviewed, it seemed
As if someone were watching over it
Before it was
As if response were based on fact
Providing, deciding
It was soon there
Squared to it, faced to it
It was not there
Renewed, it fought
As if it had a cause to live for
Denied, it learned
As if it had sooner been destroyed
Providing, deciding
It was soon there
Squared to it, faced to it
It was not there
Reviewed, it fought, as if someone were watching over it
Before it had sooner been denied
Renewed, it seemed as if it had a cause to live for
Destroyed, it was later based on fact
Providing, deciding
It was soon there
Squared to it, faced to it
It was lost there
Single K.O. Lyrics
6 ContributorsSingle K.O. LyricsI've found something
No one else is looking for
I've found something
That there's no use for
And what's more
I'm keeping it to myself
I'm leaning over backwards
Shoulders pressed to the floor
I'm leaning over backwards
Shoulders pressed to the door
Two falls or one submission
Or a single K.O
Two falls or one submission
Or a single K.O
But what's one submission
Amongst, amongst friends?
A Mutual Friend Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As a mutual friend, it was difficult to pretend
That I was anything less than concerned
Hearing of your troubles
Has forced me to double
My interest in your current affairs
[Verse 2]
It's no use despising a new unknown horizon
Now your son has set his sights upon the Moon
So precipitous a decision has clouded your vision
And altered the pitch of your... tune
[Bridge]
Please don't turn a deaf ear to the noises you hear
While savagely your love you prune
For he might replace the old with the Moon
He might replace the old with the Moon
In March, April, May, and June
July, August, September, soon
He might replace the old with the Moon
It could be October
November, or even December
So in January and February, remember
[Outro]
He might replace the old with the Moon
He might replace the old quite soon
He might replace the old with the Moon
He might replace the old with the Moon
He might replace the old quite soon...
Indirect Enquiries Lyrics
7 ContributorsIndirect Enquiries LyricsYou gained respect as we passed
Not a wave, a gestured wink
I was forced to think
I couldn't ignore
I've seen you before
Joking aside, face to face
It's the one I cannot place
A hint might enlarge your imprint
I think I've had a taste of
A savoury, denial would be a waste
Lying prone
Hiding in a column, between SALE and ZDRK
Sky, sand, and moorland, shepherd's delight
Not in the sun, which stops you from walking
I might find you
But I lack the patience
Passed a corner, you'd been stolen
Ate a meal, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced, you'd been defaced
You'd been defaced
